Yeah I'm pretty much late once again but I have some interesting things to talk about.
Mos Def, De La Soul, and Ali Shaheed Muhamad have new albums out this week.
Mos Def's album is called New Danger some will see it as a companion piece to Talib Kweli's new album Beautiful Struggle. Mos Def is a hip-hop alchemist blending blues, jazz, punk, and R&B to push hip-hop to the next level. This is definitely one of the most anticipated albums this year. Mos does not disappoint.
De La Soul has been around for 15 years now and just like a fine wine they have aged well. This is a mature hip hop album filled with a bunch of cameos guests include from the underground MF Doom (aka Zevlove X of K.M.D.) and Common.
Ali Shaheed Muhamad formerly of A Tribe Called Quest breaks out on his own with an album in where he spotlights unknown talent.
All three albums show another side of hip hop that is anti-thug. It is refreshing to know that this kind of stuff is out there. Too bad it doesn't get airplay.
